A mixture of methyl 3-indolepropionate (5.00 g, 0.0246 mol), acetic acid (10 mL), dimethylsulfoxide (26 mL, 0.369 mol, 15 eq.) and concentrated hydrogen chloride (37%) (22 mL, 0.738 mol, 30 eq.) was stirred at ambient temperature for 2.5 h. Water was added to the mixture and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified using the Biotage flash chromatography system (30% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford the title compound as an oil (5.28 g, 98%); 1H NMR (DMSO-d6); 62.03-2.10 (m, 2H); 2.32-2.39 (m, 2H); 3.46 (t, J=6.4 Hz, 1H); 3.54 (s, 3H); 6.81 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H); 6.93-6.97 (m, 1H); 7.15-7.17 (m, 1H); 7.24 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H);
